...to want to punch the lights out of the sanctamonious cow who said "Can't you read" to me when I accidently drove against the arrows in Tesco's car park?

Sanctamonious cow. Wanted to shout back (but wasn't quick enough) "Sorry dearie I made a mistake - like the one your mother made when she had you"

or would that have been too OTT? Grrrrr!

I get irritated when people drive against the arrows and so wouldn't do this deliberately - it was an honest mistake. However, I never feel the need to shout at other drivers.

Would bet my life that this stupid bitch has done the same at times. Oh am sooooo angry and annoyed.

Forgive bad language but am sooo cross.

Lol HMC. There's potential for a whole new thread there: 'What little things do you do just for the thrill of it?'

I drive against the arrows in car parks sometimes quite knowingly (just to irritate people who like to get steamed up about the slightest little thing)...but I tend to have a quick ganders first to see if anything is coming the other way, and would only do so for a short distance (thus a calculated risk of not impedeing traffic flow)

do you know I have stopped going to tesco because the last 3 consecutive occassions I went there I got invloved in a rucus on the car park. The first two times it was over disabled parking spaces and the third time, someone nearly drove into MY car and pipped their horn and screamed at me

I just cant be arsed anymore. Its a reflection of the people who shop there.

I go to lidl or sainsburys now

i would have done exactly the same as her.people who don't obey thr rules of the road absolutely infuriate me. the thought that it could be an honest mistake would never cross my mind, i'd instantly assume you were doing to skip a line for the exit or grab a parking space.

That's a great comeback!! But a slight over reaction I feel.

IsabelWatchingItRainInMacondo · 09/07/2007 11:03

I think you would be feeling worse if you had replied, I have felt very ashamed everytime I have done, looking around to see if somebody saw me acting as badly as the other person

Yeah - wouldn't have punched her - am deffo not the physically violent type - oh but thinking about it pleased me. Maybe it's my soul which should be prayed for.

Get it out your system love.

Punching her won't solve anything.
I think you should pray for her.
